It was a saturday. No classes. No homework. Nothing to do except relax, and that was exactly what Casey was planning on doing. Opting for a pair of jeans, a purple v neck t-shirt, and flip flops, she made her way down to the grounds, a book in hand. Her curly copper hair was down, blowing in front of her face as shte occasional breeze swept passed. A smile was on her features, she was completely content and relaxed. It was a perfect day to spend outside. She found her usual spot, underneath an old tree. She leaned against the tree, bringing her legs up a bit. Flipping through to the page she was on, she paused, just taking in the scenery. It was a lovely day. Perhaps she'd go for a walk later, but for now she was quite content with reading, especially after the adventure she'd had this past week.

After getting bored with trying to keep him self busy in the castle, John had decided to take a walk along the grounds, It was a nice day, the fact that it was a saturday and he could enjoy it made it all the better. He looked around, searching for anyone and smiled when he saw Casey reading. "HEY!" he said happily as he walked over to her and sat down next to her.

At that point, she hadn't really even started reading yet. She'd been looking at the book, but more absorbed in her own thoughts and she might do later that afternoon. Casey was somewhat surprised to hear someone greeting her. Looking up she saw John, and immediately a grin split across her features. Closing her book, she greeted, "Hey John! What's up?" She was really quite glad to see him. She hadn't seen John since the forest adventure.

"Oh, I'm fine, How are you?" he asked, happy to see her grin when she saw him. "I was just bored inside , so I decided to go on a walk around the grounds, but I saw you, so I decided to say Hello. I'm sorry if I interrupted you're reading." he apoligized, looking down at the book she had just closed .

"I'm great," Casey said in all honesty. "I was a bit bored too, but I saw it was so nice outside I couldn't really stay inside." She put down her book altogether, talking to John was way better than any book she had to read. "No, no don't worry about it. Really. I wasn't actually reading. I'd opened it, but I'd kinda zoned out."

"Oh, good." He said, happy she hadn't disturbed her. "I haven't seen you since what happened in the forest. you're ok from that right?" he asked, he felt bad he hadn't checked up on her earlier.

The day was still young and Lolita had already exhausted every form of entertainment she could find inside the castle. As she paced the Slytherin common room playing with ideas for entertainment she realized she had never been out side on the grounds aside from going to her Care of Magical creatures classes. With that she grabbed her gold and green jump rope and nearly ran up from the dungeon and out the main doors and onto the grounds.

Once out side she began to jump rope as she watched the people around her. It was then that two people having a conversation underneath a large tree caught her attention. With that she began jumping their direction once she reached them she continued jumping as she greeted in a sing song voice

"Hello there, beautiful afternoon isn't it"
